Sorry, but tis the season. I grew up knowing of these as Mexican Wedding Cakes, and they we're one of my mom's favorites. Ours too, for my sisters and me. On the internet I've also found them described as Russian Tea Cakes and Powder Pecan Cookie Balls. By any name, they're just as sweet, full of butter and sugar.

This one was made by my neighbor Pete across the street, and was as good a rendition as I've ever had. As to a recipe, you're on your own.
